The Lunar New Year sale is over, but Steam is still running a New Year of the Rabbit promotion. The Steam Chinese New Year Sale is a “minor” sale on Steam’s revamped calendar, and it’s a chance to try some great Chinese games that in many cases aren’t as well known in the West.
Head over to the Chinese New Year event page on Steam for a selection of new and upcoming games, offers, and new free demos to try. These recommendations were put together by some of Steam’s Chinese curators, and they include a number of games that have received little to no attention in Western markets and press.
